Pour Les Hommes

{Tommy Smythe}
In my ongoing quest to seek out decorating tips for men (see here and here), I've noticed an abundance of boudoirs with charcoal walls. Paired with gold accessories or leather accents, the color appeals to both sexes in ways that few others do. Could you cope with a gray bedroom? I think it would be the ultimate in cozy chic!

Royal Blue

Royal blue is flattering on every skin tone and a festive alternative to your run-of-the-mill LBD. Keep it classy in a cocktail dress that hits just above the knee à la Camilla Belle or go for all-out glamour in a floor-length number like Kristen Bell or Demi Moore's. Why not try out this unexpected hue for your next holiday fête? 

Gather 'Round The Fire

Baby, it's cold outside! It's the perfect weather to curl up by the fireplace with a warm latté and a good book. Add a cozy throw and a little snowfall and you'll be in the holiday spirit in no time at all!
